The project is located 2 km from the town of St. Blazey and 5 km from the larger town of St Austell.

The complex comprises a number of domes that house plant species

from around the world. The domes are made out of hundreds of hexagons plus a few pentagons that interconnect the whole construction together; each of these is a transparent cushion made of tough plastic.
